Perfect travel guide!

I bought this book for a long weekend trip to San Diego. It was perfect for us - it highlighted the top things to see in a clear, organized way, so we didn't have to root through a lengthy guide to figure out our itinerary. It saved us a TON of time and hassle - I highly recommend this book!

I found this to be a helpful tool while traveling, used it often in conjunction with the recommended book below. I kept it in the rental car at all times. This book is slim enough for your handbag.

Great for Planning Your Travel to a New City!

I love lists and it has great lists for planning a trip - espicially a quick one - giving quick "to do" info on areas of town. It also is has lists for different activities: shopping, outdoors, families, etc.

Fun in the Sun

It's a good book to take to San Diego. Gives an overview and there are maps so one can't get lost. It's not to big or heavy and great if one wants to have a fun in the San Diego area.

Great Last Minute Choice

I bought this book on my way to the airport. It's compact but full of information and we were never once disappointed when using the "Best of..." restaurant suggestions. We were especially pleased with the best Sushi (in a little strip mall) and the best tacos (in a neighborhood outside the main tourist area). We would have never found most of them without this helpful book.
